Second homes

A house that is looked after, whether or not you are in it.

Owners who are away for months at a time need more than an alarm system. They need someone local who knows the property and will act before you have to ask.

An empty house is not idle. Humidity, weather, wildlife, and time keep working on it — usually quietly, and usually where no one is looking.

Between visits

Scheduled interior and exterior checks on a rhythm you set, with a written note and photographs after each one.

Weather

Preparation before a storm and an honest assessment afterwards — before a small intrusion becomes a claim.

Access

Deliveries received, trades let in and supervised, and the house left as it was found.

Arrival

The house opened, aired, and ready before you land, so the first evening feels like home rather than a to-do list.

For family at a distance

Reporting that answers the question before it is asked.

A monthly written report with photographs, a record of anything that needed attention, and a familiar voice on the telephone when a decision is required.
